Citroen owners have always been proud of the technology in their cars. If you go back to the old DSs, an owner would always seem to take you of a tour of the car pointing out the button brake pedal, the hydraulic suspension, the unique dials.
The new Citroen Picasso carries on this tradition with a wide range of equipment, for a price.
It is an unusual type of car.
It is the smaller version of the Grand Picasso which is a stylish people mover. The Picasso is only a five seater, it is taller than a station wagon but does not have the looks of an SUV.
Can this small car find a niche in the market?
